Modular Systems

Music Easel

The new incarnation of the 1973 Buchla Music Easel is a portable, performance-oriented instrument as close as possible to the original. We have used the same circuits, mechanical design and graphic theme that made the original an ergonomic dream to grab hold of and create organic electronic music from the soul.

200e Skylab (System 4)

The 200e Skylab 10-module system delivers exceptional power and performance in a highly portable format. Folds neatly with your patch cables connected and stores in an airline-carry-on-compatible padded bag (included).

MIDI outputs for several standard controllers (re-assignable via MIDI) are available on the module. Multiples can convert between 1/4″, 1/8″, Tini-Jax and Banana jacks. CV-MIDI Interface: 6 channels of CV-MIDI conversion. Each channel accepts pulse, CV, velocity, and a CV input assignable to continuous controllers.

Buchla LEM4 Snoopy

Snoopy can be played as a stand-alone instrument with its core Complex Waveform Oscillator, filter and VCA functions with amazing power in a compact design, or integrated into a larger complex system.

Buchla LEM7 Aquarius

Aquarius is a mini-system designed to get your gear interfaced to the Buchla world, or as a canvas to create your own modular system. Included is the 3-module powered boat loaded with the 225h MIDI-CV converter and the 202h Utilities to provide a standardized set of signals to your Buchla system.
